Knesset Exhibit: 70 Years Since Elimination of Heydrich

Ahead of next week's visit by Chairwoman Miroslava Němcová of the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech parliament, an exhibition will run for three weeks in the Knesset to mark 70 years since the elimination of SS officer Reinhard Heydrich, an architect of Nazi Germany's "final solution for the Jewish problem," who operated in Czechoslovakia during World War II.

The exhibition also deals with the broad relationship between the Czechs and the Jews in the 20th century.
